[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 843457, member: 50197"] I'm looking at trading in my Z5 and have thought about using the proceeds to get something useful. While I have two holes in my lenses, 70-200 and ultra wide, I really am not sure I would use either of them enough to justify spending the money. I have thought about a teleconverter. I've looked at a fair number of videos about it. Most say the 1.4 works very well with the 180-600, one or two say otherwise. I have doubts the 2.0 would suit me. The loss of 2 stops from F6.3 seems a bit too much, and likely would affect the AF performance more than I'd like. Going out to 840 with the 1.4 should be enough reach, especially since I'm working with a 46 MP sensor and can crop aggressively when needed. I also sometimes use my long lens for closeups of smaller critters that I need additional distance from than my 105 micro lens. The 1.4 would give me additional magnification. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with it, and hopefully paired with the 180-600. [/QUOTE]
